PROPANE SAFETY: NO HIGHER PRIORITY 

Propane as a fuel has a strong safety record. That’s because it is highly regulated at state, local and federal levels. The propane industry, including propane delivery companies like River Valley Cooperative, hold to high safety standards.  

Our technicians are certified and undergo regular training to ensure safe practices and put your safety first. 


WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS

In the rare event of a propane leak, you must know how to protect yourself and others. These steps are essential to protect people and property. You must take them without delay as soon as you smell propane, either inside your home or anywhere else there is gas equipment.

  • Extinguish candles, cigarettes and other sources of ignition 
  • Get yourself and everyone else out of the house or wherever you smell gas  IMMEDIATELY 
  • Don’t use any light switches, thermostats, telephones or appliances until you are safely out 
  • Close the propane tank safety valve if you can safely access it 
  • Call 911 and River Valley Cooperative's hotline (563) 357-0816 as soon as you are a safe distance away from where you smelled gas 
  • Give first responders and qualified propane service technicians time to check for escaped gas and do any needed repairs  
  • Even if you no longer smell gas, stay away and don’t try to turn on the propane supply valve 
  • Make sure a trained propane service technician repairs the leak, then inspects all gas appliances and relights the pilots 
  • Wait until you are given permission before you return

 

INSTALL A  PROPANE GAS DETECTOR

Did you know you may not always smell a gas leak? Some people, especially the elderly, are unable to detect the scent of gas. Colds, allergies, sinus congestion, tobacco, alcohol, and some prescription medications may diminish your sense of smell. 

To keep you safe, we encourage you to install a propane gas detector in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
